.SYNOPSIS FOR CALIFORNIA WATERS...A cold front will slowly move
across the waters today into tonight while weakening. A warm
front will move NE across the NW portion Sat while the associated
developing low pressure center passes N of the waters. The low
will pull a cold front into the N waters Sat night, then the
front will stall into Sun. Another area of low pressure will
track E across the far N waters Sun and Sun night while pulling
the front S and SE across the N and into the central waters. A
high pressure ridge will build E towards the waters Mon and Mon
night, as a low pressure trough develops along the coast. The
high pressure ridge will move SE across the N and into the
central waters Tue and Tue night. A cold front will approach the
NW waters Tue night.
